I've always been of the opinion that comments like that are not for the public domain. But I too am getting thoroughly fed up of the performance of 'certain referees'. I know they have a difficult job to do, but some seem to manage a lot better than others. And, for me, yesterday's ref has been, and will always be one of the 'others'! We saw a lot of him in the Championship, and I didn't like what I saw then - when we were winning all our games. I'm afraid that what was said, needed saying!
Let's get one thing clear. We were never going to beat Cas - they are a class apart, and played rugby that was wonderful to watch. However, before the game, I said that the guy with the whistle wouldn't let us play and, in the main, he didn't. I know the players are supposed to be professionals, and shouldn't let the ref get to them, but when virtually every 50/50 call goes against you, just how do you keep your discipline?
Yesterday, I went to watch and enjoy a closely contested game, and appreciate our 'classy' opponents. That was totally ruined, for me, by the incompetence and inconsistency of the guy who was supposed to be in charge. He succeeded in ruining the 'contest' by doing his bit to ensure a one-sided affair.
Well played Cas - you are indeed classy - but please keep away from Leigh Centurions, Mr Kendall. We have seen far too much of you this season!
